How to upgrade mariadb or mysql in directadmin

To upgrade  MariaDB using the custombuild script, do the following:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set mariadb 10.3
./build set mysql_inst mariadb
./build set mysql_backup yes
./build update
./build mariadb

./build php n

Where mariadb can be 5.5, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3
